Chapter 200
Still, Yancy had gotten his goddess’s autograph, and honestly? That was enough. He was grinning like an idiot as he pulled out his phone and typed out a quick thank-you message to Sienna.
He hit send and sat back, feeling pretty good about himself.
Meanwhile, Liora padded across the room with her tablet clutched in both hands. She walked right up to Dante, her little face hopeful.
"Dad, there’s a new animated movie coming out tomorrow," she said, turning the screen toward him so he could see the trailer. "It looks really good. Can we go?"
Dante didn’t even look up from his phone. "I can’t tomorrow."
Liora’s face fell a little.
With Felix back home, the old estate would be flooded with visitors in the morning. Pack elders. Business partners. People paying their respects. It was inevitable.
"If you want to go," Dante added, still scrolling, "ask your mom to take you."
Liora let out a small sigh. "Oh..."
She’d been spending more time with Elodie lately, more than she had in weeks, actually, so she wasn’t as clingy with Dante as she used to be. Still, it would’ve been nice if he’d said yes.
Then her eyes lit up again. "What about Aunt Sienna? Maybe I can ask her too..."
Dante finally glanced at her. "Aunt Sienna will be busy tomorrow. She’s studying with someone. Don’t bother her."
